I’ve previously cycled between heavy desktop ecosystems like Adobe Acrobat Pro and traditional, cloud-based web utilities like ILovePDF or Smallpdf. While cloud alternatives are simple to navigate, they treat document submission as an inherently server-dependent job—introducing upload queues, file size caps, watermarks, and paywalls. On the other hand, traditional desktop software is expensive, requires complex installations, and often forces rigid document boundaries that complicate fluid multi-file page mixing. I opted for this implementation because it strips away all of that artificial friction. It provides a lightweight, cross-platform visual canvas that guarantees total data isolation while delivering the multi-document agility typically gated behind expensive professional software licenses.
